Lady GaGa has threatened to sue a London ice cream parlour that was selling a flavour named Baby GaGa.

The singer said that the ice cream - made from human breast milk - was 'nausea-inducing' and attempting to capitalise on her name. However, the product has already been removed from sale while the food standards department check whether it meets hygiene requirements.

"She claims we have 'ridden the coattails' of her reputation. As someone who has... recycled on an industrial scale the entire back catalogue of pop culture to create her look, music and videos, she might want to reconsider this allegation.

"How can she possibly claim ownership of the word 'gaga' which since the dawn of time has been one of the first discernible phrases to come from a baby's mouth?"
